Triggering Soft Shutdown: Option -pLocate this document in the navigation structure

You can shut down SAProuter softly. With a soft shutdown SAProuter continues to run on another port. Administration functions can be done here, but SAProuter does not accept any more logon requests. SAProuter terminates automatically when no more clients are connected. The advantage of a soft shutdown is that the port on which SAProuter was running (default 3299) is now free. This is useful if you want to start a new SAProuter without closing existing connections, or if more connections are required than one SAProuter alone can handle (max. 1018).

To trigger a soft shutdown of SAProuter, enter the following command in the input field:
  • Windows/UNIX:saprouter -p
  • IBM i:call saprouter ( '-p' )
Note
  • Instead of this, you can also start SAProuter with option saprouter -r -Y <n> (IBM i:call saprouter ( '-r' '-Y' '<n>' )). You moves the existing SAProuter automatically to another port and a new SAProuter is started. The new SAProuter then accepts incoming connections on this port.
  • The default port on which SAProuter continue to run port 65000. If this port is already assigned or if a port range was already defined for the SAProuter with option -M, a different port is selected.
